Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4). Grease a rectangular traybake tin with butter and dust it with a little flour, tapping out any excess to ensure the cake doesn't stick.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together using an electric whisk or stand mixer until the mixture is pale, thick, and doubled in volume.

Sift the plain flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt into the egg mixture. Pour in the whipping cream and fold gently until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared tin and spread it evenly to the edges. Scatter the mixed berries over the top of the batter.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean (a little fruit residue on the skewer is fine).
